Perl 5.26.* Ccompiling 3 modules with a similar (looking) problem...

GM,
Excuse the noise if this problem is mine or belongs in another forum...

The numbers are the XS_VERSION; If I comment out the XS_VERSION_DEFINE 
in the Makefile, then 'XS_VERSION' appears in the error message. What 
mechanism determines 'what to expect' elludes me. Despite the similarity 
of the error message, they occur in different looking code. Based on 
reported line numbers:
> Storable.xs 1291      INIT_STCXT;
> threads.xs   271      dMY_POOL;
> DBI.c       6413      dVAR; dXSBOOTARGSXSAPIVERCHK;
I've successfully compiled these three in earlier Perls, and compiled 
130+ modules with 5.26.1 & 2, but these 3 are playing hardball.

Storable and threads are supplied with 5.26., DBI I built in earlier 
days with no problem.
